WAN-IFRA renews its support to the print and production community with the appointment of Ingi Rafn Ólafsson as new director of WAN-IFRA’s World Printers Forum. He will succeed Manfred Werfel who has retired earlier this year. Ingi Rafn, an Icelandic national, was previously in charge of managing continuing education for the graphical and publishing industry in Iceland for the past several years. Before that, he was the ad-production manager at Morgunbladid, the country’s largest daily newspaper.

Ingi Rafn holds a bachelor’s degree in Newspaper Operations Management from Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, and an MBA from the University of Edinburgh. While in college, Ólafsson is not new to WAN-IFRA where he already worked to support the technical team in charge of the International Color Quality Club (INCQC). In his new role, Ólafsson will coordinate WAN-IFRA’s programmes related to its print and production initiatives.
